the slack team already has a tool very similar but with more functionality.
go get autoslack-1.7, and it can be had at
ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/unsupported/autoslack
allows for update of existing packages, installing new packages, can be
automated, or done manualy, checks packages against and MD5 checksum for
installing as well.

also while in their cd up 1 dir and go into protopkg. it is a very cool way
for building slackware packages.

Is nothing sacred?

I always thought Slackware was cool because it was a "Tough Guy"
distribution where you had to manhandle tarballs into a useable system.
Upgrading was not for the faint of heart and if you couln't upgrade libc
without breaking you system, you couldn't hang out with the big boys. 

Now it sounds like it's turning into a chick distro with auto updates
and all the fancy schmancy packaging utilities the other distos have. 

I'll bet hardcore Slackers like Jeff Cann would never be caught dead
running some "Hold your hand" upgrade nanny...

Well......

I understand and appreciate how you feel, however, no one is forcing you
to use it.  I am sorry if this has offended you, I just thought someone

it still is, and that is how i do it. however it is a nice util for some
users. i wouldn't ever use it on a server, but if you want to be a lazy
admin of your workstation then fire it up.

the packaging util is nice because what it does is download the tar ball for
you, build the source, and install it on your system, leaving you with a
nice little slackware package once complete. and here is an example of how
protopkg can be used. say latest exploit for bind comes out, and you have
several identical (hardware wise, and OS version) machines. normaly you
would have to go to each system and compile bind for source. with protopkg
you can build bind on your devel. machine and the installpkg the resulting
package on your servers. now this is just one example, and i still most
times end up compiling on each system anyways, but is a nice option when the
situation fits.

No offense taken here, but I get the feeling you may have mistaken me
for one of those "Give me command line or give me death" types that was
taking off on a serious rant about packaging systems being the downfall
of civilization. I was of course, just joking. Guess I missed the mark.
Now I feel like I should apologize for offending you...

Do I need to set the "I'm just joking" bit before I post something with
obvious sarcastic slant on it? 

I'm sure the Slackwere team is developing a fine group of utilities and
that they help manage the system...

...never mind.

I doubt he was truly offended, and I am happy to know, there is also
another program called autoslack that does something simliar.  I
haven't tried either yet.

Ed was joking...

It's our long-running standoff between Holier-Than-Thou Debian and a truly 
manly Linux/BSD distro - Slackware.

As I always say:  Slack Rules

i recommend everyone do this at least once. i completed an earlier
version of the howto sometime ago and it is now a production server
and quite stable. one learns a great deal from building a linux sytem
from the ground up.
